Sure, then lets schedule the tournament at a neutral site and move everyone's exam and vacation schedule so Penn isn't the only team finishing a week's vacation while most others have been taking midterms and submitting papers.
Which is worse? A game an hour away on a Tuesday or 4 finals/papers being completed on your 6+ hour bus ride to play a conference tournament at your opponent's home court.
By the way, a fair amount of Friday games have been scheduled for 8pm this year and a lot of Saturday games at 6pm. That means Penn (and Harvard) lost an hour.
